2026 NFL Mock Draft (UPDATED 5/20): Round 1 /Picks 17-32 /Round 2
Other 2026 Mock Drafts: Charlie Campbell (5/19)
(More links to previous NFL mock drafts at the bottom of this page)
New Orleans Saints: Arch Manning, QB, Texas
The Saints used a second-round pick on Tyler Shough, but if they have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Shough most likely will have performed poorly. Either way, the Saints wouldn’t pass on a generational quarterback.
The grandson of Archie Manning and the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, Arch Manning has been a highly coveted prospect for quite some time and is the favorite to be chosen first overall whenever he declares.

Pick change; previously Jermod McCoy, CB
New York Jets: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU
The Jets need to start over at quarterback. Justin Fields has a chance to prove himself as the starter in 2025, but New York probably needs a new quarterback.
Garrett Nussmeier has great arm talent and has made the most out of his opportunity replacing Jayden Daniels.
Cleveland Browns: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson
Will the Browns finally take a chance on a quarterback? They have to at some point if Shedeur Sanders doesn’t live up to expectations, but I’m willing to bet that they wouldn’t take one in this scenario. Instead, they could obtain a bookend for Myles Garrett and a future replacement for him.
T.J. Parker had a breakout sophomore campaign. He has impressive instincts and was very productive.
Pick change; previously LaNorris Sellers, QB
New England Patriots: Kayden Proctor, OT, Alabama
New England’s offensive line is in rough shape. Lots of help is needed to protect Drake Maye. We just saw two teams – Jets, Saints – draft tackles in consecutive years, and New England could do the same.
Kayden Proctor is a colossal, 360-pound blocker. He has great potential, but has some character concerns.
Carolina Panthers: Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn
The Panthers have severe issues generating pressure on the quarterback. They need help at defensive tackle and the edge rush.
Keldric Faulk has been a monster for Auburn. He has a great mix of power and speed on the edge.
Tennessee Titans: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas
The Titans have a huge hole in the middle of their defense.
Anthony Hill Jr. covered the field very well to begin his collegiate career.
Arizona Cardinals: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
Even if Will Johnson pans out, the Cardinals will need another cornerback to go with him and Garrett Williams.
Jermod McCoy is an instinctive cornerback who tackles well.
Pick change; previously T.J. Parker, DE
New York Giants: Jaylon Guilbeau, CB, Texas
The Giants have some poor play in the secondary that they’ll need to address soon.
Jaylon Guilbeau displayed terrific coverage ability.
Pick change; previously Arch Manning, QB
Seattle Seahawks: Mateo Uiagalelei, DE, Oregon
The Seahawks are chasing the 49ers and Rams, so they need to find more players who can put pressure on Brock Purdy and Matthew Stafford.
Mateo Uiagalelei has great size, strength, and athleticism. He’s been very productive at Oregon.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Suntarine Perkins, LB, Ole Miss
Tampa’s pass rush has declined in recent years, so upgrades will be needed on the edge. Haason Reddick was added for just one year.
Suntarine Perkins is a dangerous pass rusher, but needs to bulk up for the NFL.
Dallas Cowboys: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State
The Cowboys could be looking for some young safety talent with Malik Hooker entering his 30s and Donovan Wilson entering free agency following the 2025 season.
Caleb Downs projects as one of the top play-making safeties in the NFL in several years.
San Francisco 49ers: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami
It sounds like the 49ers were hoping Kelvin Banks would fall to them. They need a long-term left tackle once Trent Williams retires.
Francis Mauigoa has immense upside as a potential left tackle in the NFL. His brother was just drafted in the fifth round.
Los Angeles Chargers: Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami
The Chargers lost Joey Bosa and won’t have Khalil Mack around much longer.
Rueben Bain was very productive as a freshman and has a ton of upside.
Pittsburgh Steelers: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina
The Steelers passed on all the quarterbacks until the final rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. Perhaps they’ll treat this quarterback class differently.
LaNorris Sellers has a huge skill set and could be drafted earlier than this if he lives up to his potential.
Pick change; previously Jaylon Guilbeau, CB
Indianapolis Colts: Keon Sabb, S, Alabama
The Colts signed Camryn Bynum, but he may not be enough to fix their issues at safety.
Keon Sabb has been a tough defender for Alabama and Michigan.
Las Vegas Raiders: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
The Raiders don’t have a strong receiving corps because of the Davante Adams trade. They may use this pick to fix that.
Denzel Boston is a huge receiver with big-play potential.
